Can't see them ever opening up lots of Emigration centres as most of them would then be pretty empty. I agree that Davao would logically be the first choice for a third office, but as I already said the lack of international flights from the airport there doesn't help it's case. But they don't need more of these Emigration centes anyway, they need less (ie none). Scrap the seminar and the stamp in the passport and it solves all the problems.
